What to Know
Get ready for a WAC battle as the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks and the UTRGV Vaqueros will face off at 7:30 p.m. ET on Thursday at William R. Johnson Coliseum. UTRGV will be strutting in after a win while Stephen F. Austin will be stumbling in from a defeat.
The Lumberjacks came up short against the Kansas Jayhawks two weeks ago, falling 80-72. One thing holding Stephen F. Austin back was the mediocre play of guard Latrell Jossell, who did not have his best game: he played for 28 minutes but put up just nine points.
Meanwhile, UTRGV had enough points to win and then some against the Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners two weeks ago, taking their matchup 68-50.
Stephen F. Austin is now 8-4 while the Vaqueros sit at 5-7. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Lumberjacks enter the game with 18.7 takeaways on average, good for 10th best in college basketball. Less enviably, UTRGV is eighth worst in college basketball in turnovers per game, with 16.4 on average.
